CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls suspended Rajon Rondo for Mondays game against the Portland Trail Blazers for conduct detrimental to the team, adding another disciplinary measure to the point guards lengthy resume.The 30-year-old Rondo has been suspended several times during his 11 NBA seasons for running afoul of the league or his team. He received a one-game penalty last December for directing a gay slur at referee Bill Kennedy and also was suspended for a game during his short stint in Dallas after he had a heated exchange on the court with coach Rick Carlisle in February 2015.There was no public indication from the Bulls on what triggered Rondos suspension. Jerian Grant replaced Rondo in the starting lineup and had five points on 1-for-7 shooting in Chicagos 112-110 loss to Portland.Hes obviously very important with what we do in this building, coach Fred Hoiberg said of Rondo. Hes a guy that really gets us out and establishes the tempo for our team, especially in the fourth quarter. Hes important for what we do, but thats not the reason we lost the game.Rondo signed a $30 million, two-year deal with Chicago after averaging 11.9 points and an NBA-best 11.7 assists in 72 games with Sacramento last season. The four-time All-Star won the NBA title with Boston in 2008.He is expected to return Tuesday night in Detroit.Hell be ready to go, teammate Dwyane Wade said. Hell have fresh legs tomorrow. Whatever happened, the organization took care of it. Us as players, we support each other. Its an emotional game and guys have emotional moments. They handled it the way they thought was best, and we move on.Rondo is averaging 8.2 points, 7.2 assists and 6.7 rebounds in 17 games with the Bulls. He had one of his worst games of the year Saturday night in Dallas, finishing with two points, two assists and five turnovers in 24 minutes in an ugly 107-82 loss.Im very confident in my relationship (with him), Hoiberg said. I had a great visit with Rajon yesterday, talked to him again this afternoon, and well look forward to seeing him on the plane tonight.Also Monday, forward Doug McDermott practiced with the Windy City Bulls after he was assigned to the D-League for conditioning. McDermott hasnt played since Nov. 11 due to a concussion.Hes going to go again tomorrow, Hoiberg said. Im sure hell have some soreness involved just in his body, again being the first time that hes had this type of workout. Hopefully he has another good day tomorrow and well see what happens with Thursday.Guard Michael Carter-Williams, who has been sidelined since Oct. 31 with a left wrist and left knee injury, also could head to the D-League soon. Hoiberg said he thinks Carter-Williams is going to be re-evaluated on Tuesday.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenapWholesale NBA Jerseys .

How can this be true?I dont have Bobby yet, Bergeron said. I just dont want a jersey. I want something signed.To commemorate the anniversary of their 50th and 80th rookie seasons, respectively, Orr, 68, and fellow Bruins legend Milt Schmidt, 98, dropped the ceremonial first puck before the teams home opener against the New Jersey Devils Thursday night at TD Garden. Orr, 68, pushed Schmidt in a wheelchair out to center ice as the 17,565 gave both a standing ovation.It was so special to see them, Bergeron said. Bobbys so down to earth, its amazing how he is, how nice of a person he is.As Schmidt and Orr exited toward the Zamboni entrance, Bergeron skated over and shook both their hands. A team photographer stood nearby and took a picture. Now, thats the item Bergeron should get signed for his collection.That would be pretty sick, he said.On this night, it wasnt about Bergerons personalized autograph collection. It was an opportunity to honor two of the greatest players to ever wear the spoked-B.Before the brief pregame ceremony, Orr and Schmidt met with the media. As they entered the room just outside the Bruins dressing room, Schmidt quickly gained control of the crowd.Ladies and gentlemen, you are having the privilege of seeing hockeys greatest, Schmidt said.As Schmidt, a former player, coach and GM for the Bruins, continued to praise Orr, the eight-time Norris Trophy winner reached into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and handed it to Schmidt as a joke.I would go with you, Milty, being the greatest Bruin ever, Orr said.Schmidt, who still has his finger on the pulse, quickly chimed in: He has to say that because Im sitting right next to him.Former Bruins teammate Derek Sanderson is not shy about sharing a funny anecdote or a serious story about Orr. Unless youve been living under a Zamboni, you know how Orr saved Sandersons life by helping him get clean and sober. That act of kindness and friendship is one major reason Sanderson is alive. Hell tell that story to anyone who will listen. But he really enjoys telling about the good times, too.Earlier in their careers, when they were both single, Orr told Sanderson it would be best if he settled down and got married. ?I said, Nah, its not in my blood. Youll be married before me, Sanderson recalled Thursday afternoon. [Orr] said, No, I wont.So, they made a bet: The guy who stayed single lost and had to pay $1,000. Sanderson lost.I paid it in pennies, Sanderson said with a laugh. He rolled a wheelbarrow full of pennies into the Bruins locker room at the old Boston Gardden before a practice and dumped the coins in front of Orr.dddddddddddde ended up with some [$1 bills] because the bank wouldnt let us wipe them out [of pennies], recalled Sanderson.Orr is the reason New England became such a hockey hotbed, beginning in the late 1960s. His on-ice success created a hockey craze, especially around Massachusetts.When I came here in 67, you could have shot a cannon off [in the Garden] and you wouldnt have hurt anybody, Sanderson said. Bobby put all the seats in the building.In 1967, the Bruins would have Mondays off. Orr would gather a few of his teammates, including Sanderson, Gerry Cheevers, Don Awrey and Phil Esposito, and they would board a bus and travel to local communities to play against high school teams.We would switch goalies and have a scrimmage, Sanderson said. It sold out. It was only a buck, so all the parents were there and we played a game for an hour, an hour and 20 minutes. But when you get on the ice with somebody who is a freshman in high school, and youre playing on the same ice as Bobby Orr and Esposito and those guys, they became fans for life. And now theyre grandfathers.There were no cameras. No social media. No one to spoil those types of moments. Orr made it genuine. Even trips to local childrens hospitals. Sanderson would leave those visits depressed, but he said it would rejuvenate Orr because he would promise to score a goal for a sick child.Bobby did all that for free, Sanderson said. Ive never, never seen anyone, anyone do that.Bruins coach Claude Julien easily breaks into a smile at the mere mention of No. 4. Julien is coaching his 10th season with the Bruins, the longest tenured coach in the NHL with one team. He understands the impact Orr has had on this community and organization.Youre a kid and hes your idol and then you turn around and hes your friend, Julien said.Devils forward Taylor Hall, the No. 1 overall pick by the Edmonton Oilers in 2010, is represented by the Orr Hockey Group. He doesnt know Bobby Orr the hockey player, Hall only knows him as a friend and agent.From the time I met him I was 14, it was pretty cool, not only for me, but my family to experience him and to see him and to listen to what he says, Hall said. Hes got great ideas about the game and the way players should play. Hes a great man and a nice guy, but hes going to go to bat for you as an agent. As I grow older and see the impact that hes had on a city like Boston, its pretty cool to say hes one of my friends.The ovation Bobby Orr receives whenever hes in the building is unmatched. Hes a gentleman. Hell do anything for the fans and the Hall of Fame defenseman is truly one of the greatest of all time.When you go someplace with him, youre staying until everybody gets an autograph, Sanderson said.Sounds like Bergeron has a shot.
